What happens when a global hydraulics leader integrates new power solutions for a decarbonising world?
In this episode, host Sven Steinert speaks with Dr. Andreas Schumacher, Head of Sustainability and Product Compliance at Danfoss Power Solutions. More than a decade ago, Danfoss recognised that relying solely on hydraulics could limit its future growth perspective. The company made a bold early move into electrification, building a complementary business line while safeguarding its core. Today, that decision has become a cornerstone of Danfoss’ long-term sustainability strategy. Andreas shares how the transition unfolded inside the organisation, how leaders managed uncertainty and resistance, and why embedding sustainability through meaningful KPIs is key to maintaining momentum for the sustainability strategy.
You'll learn:
1. Why electrification is central to Danfoss’ long-term business strategy
2. How to steer organisational change in a technology-driven company
3. Ways to balance legacy operations with new, sustainable solutions
4. How to embed KPIs that drive real sustainability outcomes
5. Why patience and persistence keep long-term transformations on track
